THE MAGNIFICENT BENGUIAT COLLECTION 


Messrs. Vitall and Leopold Benguiat, the authoritative Connoisseurs of 
Paris and New York, announce that they have acquired the entire Collection 
of their Brother, David Benguiat of London, and have instructed the Amer- 
ican Art Association to now sell these and other fine Textiles at unrestricted 
public sale. 

Messrs. Vitall and Leopold Benguiat require no introduction to the 
American public, for their activities have been many and the most rare and 
notable Collections of Textiles and Rugs ever sold in New York have ema- 
nated from them. David Benguiat, their brother, is no whit less known to 
the English public and throughout Europe, as one of the greatest experts 
on Textiles. He established himself in London in 1878 and from that time 
on he has been consulted by the leading Museums of England and the Con- 
tinent. 

Naturally, being in England much of his time, he was drawn to collect 
English Embroideries, and over a period of forty-five years acquired the 
many Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian specimens that so distinguish this 
Collection. Amongst the beautiful Genoese Velvets are two Room Hangings 
of ruby and of a lighter hued crimson, both of the sixteenth century. There 
are included a number of lovely Jardiniére Velvet Panels and Gold Needle- 
painted Renaissance Italian and Spanish Ecclesiastical Vestments, Banners, 
Covers and Palace Baldachinos. Many other Embroideries from far off China, 
the Nearer East and Europe, have an intensely decorative value with their 
rich toned silks, gold galloons, laces and fringes. 

The Venetian and other Brocades are most resplendently woven with 
cloth-of-gold and silver grounds, and beggar description with their intense 
beauty of color and richness of rare and unusual patterns. 

The fine Brocatelles and Damasks are in sufficient quantities either to 
cover the walls of rooms or to fit them with their entire curtains. Filet Lace, 
always so useful, is in abundance, and not only has a very quaint variance of 
animal patterns, but is in a fine state of preservation. 

There is a small Collection of extremely rare Judaic Silver Temple 
Objects, mainly Spanish Renaissance, that will attract for their surprising 
interest. Thirty magnificent Tapestries grace the display and include Gothic 
and Renaissance specimens from the famous looms of Arras, Brussels, Vieux 
Paris, Beauvais, Aubusson and Feletin. Especially distinguished amongst 
these is a set of six, Arras of the late fifteenth century, enriched with silver 
and gold threads and still retaining their very beautiful deep rich crimsons 
and other colors. Curiously, they are woven, as frequently happened in the 
Middle Ages, with both sacred and profane subjects. There are numbers of 


Renaissance Brussels Tapestries, delightful for their finely compartmented 
borders and the wealth of details in their romantic landscapes, frequently 
occupied by numerous personages at differing avocations, often, of course, 
giving a quaint rendering of some classic or historic theme. Two French 
examples, Vieux Paris and Beauvais, representing Narcissus and Jove and 
Venus, are notable for the delicacy of their color and weaving. 

A large Royal Palace Suite, consisting of a Canapé and twelve Fauteuils, 
covered in Gros and Petit-Point and Point St. Cyr, is one of the finest ever 
seen in New York. 

In fact, this rare assemblage is without doubt the most important that 
has come to New York for dispersal since the famous Eymonaud Collection 
in 1920.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

II. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

III. Identification and devosit by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot shall 
be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 

A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices as may be required. : ; 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so pur- 
chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter the property is at the purchasers’ risk, and neither the consignor nor the 
Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, 
breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. ‘ 

V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon 
payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. : : 

VI. Receipted bills: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted 
bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order 
by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a 
receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should 
immediately notify the Association of such loss. 

VII. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not 
paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following 
that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to 
and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, 
and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against 
the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
be upon the purchaser. 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the 
day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any 
other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots 
included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to 
re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the 
buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses 
sustained in so doing. 

VIII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to pur- 
chasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; 
doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and 
charges of the parties engaged for such service. 

IX. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, 
defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and 
no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloging or imper- 
fection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is’ and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or mcre days prior to its sale, and the Asso- 
ciation will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that 
any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot 
as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become 
responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 

X. Records: The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to 
be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and 
seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie. 

XI. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if conditions permit, 
will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made 
will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase 
of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his 
agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be 
returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded 
if the lot differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as 
to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, 
but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the 
lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of arts, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Asso- 
oe a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also 

e given. 

a Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copy- 
ing the necessary information from the records of the Association. 

These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or by an officer 
of the Association.
